Here we observed that females of E. Mutillidae are wasps that parasitize mature larvae or pre-pupae of fulsvofasciata built their nests in open areas with sandy soil, in a other insects, especially other aculeate Hymenoptera (Brothers et al. high concentration of nests: 83% were complete and 17% under 2000). Among the Hymenoptera, their known hosts are Vespidae construction in five plots of 1m2. Timulla females were observed (Polistinae, Eumeninae), seveval Halictinae and Bombinae (Apidae) in this area, entering and staying there for about five minutes in the (Brothers et al. 2000), Sphecidae and Crabronidae (Quintero & complete nests and in those under construction.

In the Neotropical host of Timulla species. Species of Timulla have already been region, there were an increasing number of records in recent years recorded parasitizing other hymenopterans: Solenopsis invicta Buren, (e.g. Mickel 1969, Yanega 1994, Cunha 2004, Lima et al. 2008, 1972 (Formicidae) (Brothers et al. 2000), Epicharis sp.

The Timulla The considerable number of Timulla seen upon entering bee nests over fauna is scarcely known in Neotropical region, particularly in the a short time interval indicates that the use of E. fulsvofasciata nests Pantanal, the biggest wetland in the world where only 7 species were in the Pantanal region is not accidental. We consider the behavior recorded (Cresson 1902, Mickel 1938, Aranda & Catian 2008). In this paper we reported the activity of two species of Timulla parasitizing of Timulla females in the nests of E. fulsvofasciata as an evidence nests of Exomalopsis fulvofasciata (Smith, 1879) and a new record of parasitism, however future research is also necessary to better for T. intermissa (Gerstaecker, 1958) in the Brazilian Pantanal. understand the ecological relationships involving these species.

  • Wild Bees of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument: Richness, Abundance, and Spatio-Temporal Beta-Diversity
    Wild bees of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument: richness, abundance, and spatio-temporal beta-diversity Olivia Messinger Carril1, Terry Griswold2, James Haefner3 and Joseph S. Wilson4 1 Santa Fe, NM, United States of America 2 USDA-ARS Pollinating Insects Research Unit, Logan, UT, United States of America 3 Biology Department, Emeritus Professor, Utah State University, Logan, UT, United States of America 4 Department of Biology, Utah State University - Tooele, Tooele, UT, United States of America ABSTRACT Interest in bees has grown dramatically in recent years in light of several studies that have reported widespread declines in bees and other pollinators. Investigating declines in wild bees can be difficult, however, due to the lack of faunal surveys that provide baseline data of bee richness and diversity. Protected lands such as national monuments and national parks can provide unique opportunities to learn about and monitor bee populations dynamics in a natural setting because the opportunity for large-scale changes to the landscape are reduced compared to unprotected lands. Here we report on a 4-year study of bees in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM), found in southern Utah, USA. Using opportunistic collecting and a series of standardized plots, we collected bees throughout the six-month flowering season for four consecutive years. In total, 660 bee species are now known from the area, across 55 genera, and including 49 new species. Two genera not previously known to occur in the state of Utah were discovered, as well as 16 new species records for the state. Bees include ground-nesters, cavity- and twig-nesters, cleptoparasites, narrow specialists, generalists, solitary, and social species.

In this biome, bees perform the most frequent pollination system. Over the last decade, network analysis has been extensively applied to the study of plant–pollinator interactions, as it provides a consistent view of the structure of plant–pollinator interactions. The aim of this study was to use palynological studies to obtain an understanding of the relationship between floral visitor bees and the pioneer plant S. didymum in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest, and also learn about the other plants that interact to form this network. Five hundred bees were collected from 32 species distributed into five families: Andrenidae, Apidae, Colletidae, Megachilidae, and Halictidae. The interaction network consisted of 21 bee species and 35 pollen types.

  • First Observations on Nesting and Immatures of the Bee Genus Ancyla (Apoidea: Apidae: Apinae: Ancylaini)
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3749, 24 pp. June 25, 2012 First Observations on Nesting and Immatures of the Bee Genus Ancyla (Apoidea: Apidae: Apinae: Ancylaini) JAKUB STRAKA1 AND JEROME G. RoZEN, JR.2 ABSTRACT Herein we present information on the nest architecture and nesting biology primarily of Ancyla asiatica Friese and, to a lesser extent, of A. anatolica Warncke, both found near Adana, Turkey. These two ground-nesting species visit Apiaceae for mating and larval provisions, with A. asiatica going to Daucus carota and A. anatolica, to Eryngium. The cocoon of A. asiatica is described in detail as are the mature oocytes of both species and the pre- and postdefecating larvae of A. asiatica. Each site was attacked by a separate, unnamed cleptoparasitic species of Ammobates (Nomadinae). The relationships of the Ancylaini to other apine tribes are discussed based on their mature larvae, and a revised tribal key to mature larvae of nonparasitic, noncor- biculate Apinae is presented. INTRODUCTION Of all tribes of nonparasitic Apidae, the natural history of the Ancylaini3 has been the least investigated. Until now, nothing has been recorded concerning the nests of any species, 1 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, CZ-12844 Prague 2, Czech Republic. 2 Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History. 3 The spelling of tribe Ancylini Michener, 1944, has recently been emended to Ancylaini to remove hom- onymy with Ancylini Rafinsque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) (Engel et al., 2010: ICZN Ruling (Opinion 2246-Case 3461).

Entre ellos, las abejas constituyen un eslabón esencial en la polinización de angiospermas que durante millones de años desarrollaron estrategias cada vez más específicas para atraerlas. De esta forma se establece una relación muy fuerte entre am- bos, planta-polinizador, y cuanto mayor es la especialización, tal como sucede en un gran número de especies de orquídeas y cactáceas entre otros grupos, ésta se torna más vulnerable ante cambios ambientales naturales o producidos por el hombre. De esta forma, el estudio de este tipo de interacciones resulta cada vez más importante en vista del incremento de áreas perturbadas o modificadas de manera antrópica en las cuales la fauna y flora queda expuesta a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones o desaparecer.

There are 129 describedMelissodes species that range throughout the western hemisphere with the center of diversity in the warm deserts of southwestern North America. Despite its widespread nature and importance in agriculture, the evolutionary relationships among the species have never been investigated. Here, we present a molecular phylogeny using five loci for 89 species of Melis- sodes with representatives from all subgenera. We confirm all of the subgeneric delineations constructed by LaBerge, except for a paraphyletic M. (Tachymelissodes) and the placement of M. (Heliomelissodes), which renders M. (Eumelissodes) paraphyletic. We also discuss the unexpected placement of M. tristis Cockerell, M. paucipuncta LaBerge, M. dagosus Cockerell, and M. pexa LaBerge. Finally, we combine this analysis with previous data to support the placement of Melissodes within the subfamily Eucerinae. Keywords Anthophila; Eucerini; bee phylogeny; long-horned bees Introduction The genus Melissodes Latreille (Apidae: Eucerinae sensu Bossert et al. 2019) is a diverse genus of medium sized, setaceous bees. It is the second largest genus in the tribe Eu- cerini with 129 described species ranging from Canada to Argentina.
